Hi guys, how are y'll? I was reflecting on what it is the true game changing Social Media for Nurses, as throughout the years I have changed or switch for many of them based on my career interest. To be honest with you, as probably other people of my age, I've started using Social Media with Facebook and, to be honest with you, most out of curiosity than for career progression! I joined MySpace in 2007 but didn't much, then Facebook in 2008 and, a few months after, I've joined LinkedIn as well in 2008... but... while I've became active on Facebook (more for sharing event like Drama Reppresentations or Music Concert), I left my LinkedIn profile collecting dust and silently forgot about it. MySpace profile is probably still there but I don't use it from ages. Throughout the years I've joined other social media like IG, YouTube and Pinterest and I've became more and more active on Linkedin! For my surprice, I've joined TikTok just this months and it feels so strage. I never though that TikTok was useful in therm of career progression and, to be honest, I am still think the same... BUT.....(BIG FAT BUT!) tik tok is useful for Entrepreneurship. Let me explain: TikTok is a place where people go to find distractions from the bourden of life, and because Entrepreneurship is founded on the capability to solve problems, Entrepreneur (like me) should use TikTok for discoverability. So many Nurses are on TikTok, scrolling and watching to destress and decompress, so I've came to the conclusion that TikTok is a good place to reach new people. It is also very fast and volatile so it is important create good content to be seen. But regardless discoverability and vanity metrics, I beleave that the best platform for Career Progression and Business expantion is and always will be Linkedin! LinkedIn is the place were Magic happen because is though from relationship and for "Shaking Hands": No fluf, no Hate, but Reasoning, Professionalism and honest, generous Relationship!

The BMJ Future Health Conference has been a great opportunity to finally meet @Getrude Orodo She is a coach for young internationally educated nurses transitioning from their country to a new system abroad. I know her from a few years now and thanks to LinkedIn. This conference has been an opportunity to meet in person and to exchange opinions and reflection. Having Getrude in this community is a privilege and a sign that collaboration make Nursing a better profession 😊
